The Suffolk town of Bungay sits in a loop in the river in the Waveney Valley, and its easily defensible position made it an important strategic centre as far back as Roman times. By Norman times the powerful Bigod family owned land at Bungay and nearby Framlingham, and built castles at each. Though Bungay Castle is now in ruins, there is a visitor centre that tells of its turbulent history, and helps you conjure a picture of how it was in times gone by. Other local attractions include the Buttermarket, where markets are held each Thursday, and the Roman Well.
